Why Constant-Time Crypto Matters for Security

Original: Why Constant-Time Crypto?

BearSSL's explanation of constant-time cryptography is drawing attention: it outlines why cryptographic code must take the same amount of time regardless of secret data, since timing variations can leak keys to attackers through side-channel attacks. The piece covers techniques developers use to avoid such leaks in implementations of encryption and signatures.

Why now: Developers and security researchers are revisiting side-channel risks and secure implementation practices.
